15 Ideas!

"Attack me with everything you have got," Anko said while looking at Kazutora with a lazy look in her eyes. She did this to see if he would react to her provoke, but she was disappointed when Kazutora didn't react.

Kazutora looked at Anko and he rushed towards her while making hand seals.

With a burst of smoke, four clones appeared around him, and he switched his place with the last clone. (Like a + with Kazu in the south)

Anko looked at the four clones and Kazu with her raised brows, and she saw him rushing at her.

Looking at the clones, she had to say that they were as real as possible, but she knew that Kazutora missed the fact that clones don't react to their surroundings.

With a glance, she understood that Kazutora was at last, and she let the attack of the first and second clones pass through her.

Her expression changed as even though she let the attacks pass, she couldn't see Kazutora making hand seals, and Kazutora used the substitution technique to switch himself with the first clone.

Appearing behind Anko, he tried to kick her waist, but Anko dodged the attack, and she held his kick.

"Nice move! A pity that you were slow," Anko said, and she was genuinely surprised by Kazutora's move. She knew that it hadn't been long since Kazutora learned the techniques, and being able to think this showed his combat IQ.

Kazutora saw Anko letting go of his leg, and he turned around to kick her. His attack was deflected by Anko, and Kazutora jumped back to maintain some distance between them.

He made hand seals and again used the clone technique to rush at her. Looking at the same technique, Anko raised her brows, and she wondered how he would react this time.

Just like before, Anko said to him using the substitution technique to attack her right hand. From the corner of her eyes, Anko saw Kazutora holding a kunai and attacking her face, and Anko crouched because of the Kunai.

Her expression changed when she saw a Kick coming at her face and this made her remember that Kazutora shouldn't have any Kunai to attack.

'Transformation plus clone technique!'

This thought appeared in her mind, and even if Anko missed this before, she held his kick and guarded against the attack.

"Good guy! Your little mind has a lot of tricks," Anko said with a surprised look on her face, and she dodged Kazutora's repetitive attacks on her.

Kurenai, who was looking at the scene, was also surprised by the outcome, and she had to say that Kazutora used the two techniques in good combination.

She saw Kazutora attacking Anko, and the distance between Anko and the river had started to decrease.

'Hmm! Is he doing this on purpose? If yes, then it means that he has an awareness of his surroundings. Since Kazu has a good affinity with water, he would have more advantage and if he can use the water release techniques as he said, then Anko would have to use techniques to guard.'

Kurenai looked at the scene with a thoughtful look on her face and she analyzed the battle between the two.

Anko, who was getting attacked by Kazutora, also noticed the matter and she understood what he wanted to do. Since they were checking his abilities, she let him do what he wanted, and she backflipped to the river and stood on the water.

"Now, attack me with what you have in mind," Anko said while using her fingers to motion him to attack, and Kazutora was speechless at her pretentious behavior.

He rushed towards Anko while making hand seals, and when he was five meters away from her, two clones appeared beside him.

Anko looked at the scene with a playful smirk on her face, and she moved right to dodge his attack. Her expression changed when she noticed her leg being a hand, and she understood that he had again used the water to create a water clone.

"Good trick," Anko said, and she used a substitution technique to disappear from the place, and Kazutora frowned at this. Seeing that Kurenai hadn't said anything, he continued to attack her while trying to use water in the river to his advantage.

Fifteen minutes later, Kazutora stood on the ground panting heavily. He used the three body techniques, Water from the source, and even sneaked at her to attack Anko but he couldn't land a single hit on her.

On the other hand, Anko was also sweating as Kazutora had forced her to use chakra and substitution techniques to guard against his attack.

"Okay! Let's end this fight today. Kazu, you did much better than I expected, or I should say that you have exceeded my expectations."

"Not only that, but you also forced Anko to use substitution technique, when it was decided that she would only guard and not use any chakra."

Kurenai said while looking at Kazutora and Anko who were drenched with sweat.

"Anko, it seems you need to develop some tricks too. Unlike when you lost against me, it is shameful for you to be forced with Kazu using only three body attacks and the water from the river."

"Yeah, yeah! I understand this matter," Anko said while waving her hand, and it wouldn't be wrong to say that she was annoyed by the matter.

"Next week, you two will fight again. What do you think of this matter?" Kurenai said after thinking for a moment as she had seen the Kazutora learn more in the fight than he learned with just theory.

Anko looked at Kurenai for a moment and then she clicked her tongue.

"If I am free, then I will let him fight me." She said while crossing her hands to her chest, and Kurenai chuckled at her antics.

Kazutora looked at the duo and he sat down on the ground. Closing his eyes, he started to meditate, and he reviewed the fight from the start.

'If I had used the Shadow Clone Technique instead of the simple clone technique, I would have many chances to attack. The transformation technique, Shadow clone technique, and Substitution technique can be used to make a lot of combinations, and if developed more, and illusion added to this, the combination can be deadly.'

'Unlike the flashy techniques such as Fire Ball technique that doesn't hit, these three techniques can be used to sneak attack, and kill the enemy in one blow.'

'Just like at the start, if I used Shadow Clone technique, I could use it to mask my attack, and even use Shadow Clone technique to have a weapon in hand to distract them.'

'Or I could make two kunai, one from Shadow Clone Technique and the other from clone techniques, and then use them to distract the opponent and hide the real attack.'

'Since the clone technique can reflect light, I can use this to create a black mist or a black body that could cut off the enemy's vision after surrounding him. Because I used clone instead of illusion, the enemy will have to either move away or use a technique to disperse the clone instead of just flaring chakra.'

Kazutora thought of various ideas in his mind, and the more he thought, the more he felt that the ideas were feasible.
